A glimpse at The Lazy GM: Savage Creatures
As a taster of the latest addition to the Lazy GM series, we present the Dragon Turtle Mistweaver. This is a dragon turtle given levels of sorcerer, and a selection of spells designed to confuse and confound its enemies. The concept of the Mistweaver is a creature that uses illusions to lure ships towards it, and uses various distance spells to attack. A standard dragon turtle is quite a physical encounter, this one is more ephemeral and characters may not know what is happening as acidic fog closes in on their ship, and strange voices carry on the wind.

This example also demonstrates the changes we have made to the stat blocks. We always felt that the old 'official' style were too cramped and confusing to read, and the newer 'official' style can be too lengthy. The book stands at 199 pages as it is and we didn't want to make it longer! So this version is a compromise. We expanded most abbreviations, gave most sections a new line, brought combat feats up next to the Base Attack Bonus line and brought Saving Throws up with Armour Class to give a block of defensive details. Immunities, resistances and vulnerabilities are also given here, before you get to hit points. All these changes should make for a compact stat-block style with all relevant details near each other, hopefully making it quick to use.
